I was just re-reading this, from a while back. Very interesting, if you'd like to settle down for a comfortable read.
IS THE WHITE HOUSE NOW JUST ANOTHER TRUMP INC. SUBSIDIARY?
No tax returns, no blind trust, no divestment: Donald Trump has ignored calls to put his country before his business. From foreign bank loans to deals with Russian oligarchs, there’s evidence of serious ethics violations ahead.

Trump was never a member of New York’s real-estate aristocracy. He was brash, too flashy, his taste was too “garish,” and he was not philanthropic. In wealthy New York social circles, that was the kiss of death. “Philanthropy is giving and he’s all about taking,” says one financier who has known Trump for three decades.
As The Washington Post’s David Farenthold would discover, Trump has given very little to charity, a total of about $7.8 million since the early 80s. It’s not that Trump didn’t want to be perceived as generous. In one of the stranger stories unearthed by Farenthold, Trump was “principal for the day” at a school in a destitute Bronx neighborhood, where the chess team was trying to raise money for travel to a tournament. They were $5,000 short. Trump had come prepared—with a fake $1 million bill that he presented to the team. Later, as he got into the backseat of his limousine, he gave the coach the actual donation: $200 in cash.
Anyone with a shred of intelligence knows Donald Trump is using this Presidency to enrich himself and his family. He has put his business dealings "aside", wink wink, and his two sons are running them. These are the two same sons who can not tie their shoe laces without help.
Cons are out for one thing, to take the other guy for everything they can, and Donald Trump is a con man extraordinaire . Most con men cheat people and run, he hangs in there and the people he conned refuse to believe they were had.

The current staff is still carrying on with Graydon Carter's spirit .
Graydon Carter is the former ('retired') editor of Vanity Fair. He is the guy who called Trump a "short fingered vulagarian" in a different magazine over 30 years ago. That comment still gets under Trump's skin....exemplified with his "big, beautiful hands" comment at a rally within the last few months.
I don't particularly like Carter, but the way he gets under Trump's skin is pretty funny.
so a review of information that is at best useless.... nice.
there is zero requirement that a president or a presidential candidate release tax related information. no republican should ever do so because the left uses everything no matter how benign against them.
there is no requirement that a blind trust be set up.
all of this is just stupid left doing what they do.

Yeah... Obama's not enriching his family (Netflix, book deal)... Clinton is not enriching his family (Clinton foundation, speaking engagements)...
The guy who is not effectively taking a salary and has removed himself from his companies is enriching his family.
Got it.
What do you expect them to do? There's nothing illegal here.

Why else is he flying everyone to one of his golf courses every weekend and having them all put up in his rooms at taxpayer expense...

They're not longer presidents. They waited till afterwards to strike deals with businesses. They're not milking the government by flying everyone to their properties every weekend, booking out all their rooms, and filling up their eateries at taxpayer expense.

There is zero proof of that.

You've got nothing bub. You're heads buried in the sand.
What does one expect? That he's not on vacation every weekend at one of his golf clubs at tax payer expense. If one tries to deny that he is enriching himself doing that, then you sir, have no credibility. Going to the golf course you don't own or one you do is totally different.
